Abstract This is the first study on the interactions of ionic liquids (ILs) composed of cations amino acid esters and anion ketoprofen (KETO) with human serum albumin (HSA). The effect of the ILs on the thermal unfolding of the HSA was negligible in comparison with that of the KETO. For the IL series, the denaturating transitions tend to shift to lower temperatures by 1–3 °C. The secondary structure analyses have shown that KETO, [L-LeuOEt][KETO] and [L-ValOBu][KETO] cause folding, and HSA molecule becomes more coiled. In the presence of [L-ValOPr][KETO] and [L-ValOiPr][KETO], HSA structure although partially unfolded seemed very close to that of the native protein. In contrast, [L-ValOEt][KETO] induces the same conformational changes of HSA as ketoprofen. For the latter, we performed binding assays and we found that the affinity of the HSA to bind the IL is comparable to that for the ketoprofen. The estimated binding constants were 3.1 × 104 and 1.4 × 104 L mol−1 for ketoprofen and [L-ValOEt][KETO], respectively. This study on KETO-ILs could be a basis to the development of a new drug formulation. Keywords  Ketoprofen-based ionic liquids · Bovine serum albumin · Thermal unfolding · Secondary structure

Introduction Ionic liquids (ILs) are organic salts that are typically comprised of bulky asymmetric organic cations and inorganic or organic anion [1]. Depending on their structure, they are having versatile physicochemical characteristics and applications [1]. In the recent decade, ILs have attracted an exponentially increasing interest for application in the field of biotechnology Electronic supplementary material  The online version of this article (https​://doi.org/10.1007/s1097​3-020-10111​-4) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users. * Maya Guncheva [email protected] 1

and medicine [2]. Numerous studies reveal the potential of some ILs to stabilize insulin, lysozyme, lipases and other therapeutic proteins and enzymes [3–5]. ILs have been successfully applied as selective and non-toxic solvents for isolation of RNA, DNA, therapeutic proteins and other biomolecules and are able to preserve the structure of bioactivity of the target components [6–8].
